Introduction of Biomedical Division

The biomedicine industry has been developing in the world for nearly 30 years, and the average annual sales of biomedicine has increased at a rate of 25%-30%. Among them, the United States represents a major biomedicine development country with a total output value of about 17% of GDP, becoming the most One of the growth industries. With the development of my country’s economy, changes in the living environment, changes in people’s health concepts, and the acceleration of population aging, the biomedical industry, which is closely related to the quality of human life, has maintained a continuous growth trend in recent years. The industry has become one of the fastest growing industries in the world, and my country, as the world's second largest economy, has also played an active role in the field of biomedicine.   Rheniummet Ltd under  Ultramet Minor Metals Ltd（UMM） focuses on metal rhenium and its alloys as the main research and development direction. It has the patented technology of tungsten-rhenium-copper material for medical LEEP knife, the patented technology of molybdenum-rhenium alloy for orthopedic implants and cardiac stents, and CT machine The tube uses rotating anode target technology.

As a new orthopedic implant material, molybdenum rhenium alloy is considered to be a new generation of biomedical materials with the most development potential due to its good biocompatibility, high strength, and excellent imaging performance under imaging diagnosis. UMM has carried out nearly eight years of cooperation in the research and development of orthopedic implant materials with large European and American medical device manufacturers. At present, it can produce excellent delivery performance and various specifications of orthopedic implant special molybdenum-rhenium alloy intermediate materials, such as bars and plates. , Tubes and foils, and complete sets of human bone implants jointly developed by partners. At present, the molybdenum-rhenium implant jointly developed by our company and foreign partners has successfully passed the US FDA certification, and is looking for application promotion partners in the Chinese medical market.
